MK Dons manager Roberto Di Matteo has revealed that Blackburn Rovers face competition to sign midfielder Keith Andrews.

Andrews was named League Two player of the season as he captained the Dons to the title and Johnstone's Paint Trophy last term.

Former Dons boss Paul Ince has taken over at Ewood Park and is eager to join back up with the Irishman.

Di Matteo confirmed the club have received approaches for Andrews, but is hopeful of retaining his services.

"He has had offers not only from Blackburn but from other clubs as well," Di Matteo told Sky Sports News.

"I guess it is up to him to make his mind up."

He added: "Of course I'd love to keep my captain. He is an important player who had a fantastic season last year but we will see."
